Version 2.9 came out a few months ago, and one of the biggest changes is that the Initiatives section now supports Earned Value Management (EVM) projects.

Based on the EVM methodology, users regularly update how much has been spent on a project and what percent complete it is. The software then shows a graph tracking their progress and projects both budget and schedule to determine how the project is performing.

The last 2.8 enhancement I'd like to share is stacked area combo charts. In previous versions of the software, you could create stacked area charts, but you couldn't combine them with other charts. In version 2.8, you can.

In version 2.8, administrators can now send instant alerts to all users in the system or to all users who are in a specific group type. For example, if the system were undergoing maintenance, the software administrators could send out an alert to all Power Users to notify them of this.
